"The villa was perfect for our family holiday. There was space for the children to lounge around, great DVD collection and decent a/c in the bedrooms. Walled garden meant that we knew where they were at all times. It's all beatifully maintained. The villa is about 5K away from Alona beach (best diving shops) but I never had a problem getting a 30 peso backie on a motorbike or a 50 peso ride in a tricycle at any time of the day or night. Panglao village seems to be a very quiet spot and we were bemused as to why the villa needed a 24hr guard, however, the guard's wife is available for 200 pesos a day to wash your clothes, shop, cook meals if you like and tidy up for you. She is worth it. There is some OK sandy beach nearby Panglao Villa but my family tended to travel to the Bohol beach club each day for their raked sand beach, palm trees and choice of pools, 250 peso day membership. We were very well looked after from collection right the way through to drop off at the Tagbillaran airport. Downsides Double bed was a bit soft for my liking, no guest file of suggestions for family outings, only 1 bistro restaurant in walking distance from the villa. All in all this is a place that we could recommend to our friends."

"We truly enjoyed our stay at the Villa! The beautiful grounds and surroundings gave it a real comfortable feel, much better than the hustle and bustle found at most resorts. The staff was excellent and Jedy, the property manager, went above and beyond in ensuring all our needs were taken care of. The location is good for those who want to avoid the crowds and who don't mind traveling a bit to get to local attractions (whether groomed beaches, or other sites on Panglao or Bohol). Local transportation was easily accessible if needed and it was also easy to find our way around with the use of a rental car. We would definitely recommend the Villa to others travelling to Bohol, and would use it again ourselves! A wonderful vacation!"

"As a family of 5 we had a fantastic time at Panglao Villa. The property is beautiful, maintained to a very high standard and kept clean. Having a badminton court and pool table were really beneficial in keeping the children busy and giving us all an activity in the evenings. Bohol is a great place with plenty to do, we went dolphin watching, swimming, snorkelling, walking through the mangrove, visited the Chocolate Hills and saw the world's smallest monkey. The local village is 5 minutes walk and the people are very friendly, our children made friends with the locals. A minor disappointment was the local beach which was not suitable for swimming from; however great beaches are only about 15 minutes drive away. The real+++ though was Carlos, the caretaker; a fun character he was so very helpful at all times and even arranged trips for us. Yes, we would defintely return to Panglao Villa."

"It was all that we expected and were delighted to have found such a great property to stay at. The property is well suited to a family. Thank you for playing an important role in our enjoyable family vacation."
